Lawyer by day and costumed vigilante by night, the character of Daredevil was the perfect vehicle for the explorations of heroic ideals and violence that would come to define Miller's work. Frank Miller's Daredevil and the Ends of Heroism is both a rigorous study of Miller's artistic influences and innovations and a reflection on how his visionary work on Daredevil impacted generations of comics publishers, creators, and fans. Paul Young explores the accomplishments of Miller the writer, who fused hardboiled crime stories with superhero comics, while reimagining Kingpin (a classic Spider-Man nemesis), recuperating the half-baked villain Bullseye, and inventing a completely new kind of Daredevil villain in Elektra. Yet, he also offers a vivid appreciation of the indelible panels drawn by Miller the artist, taking a fresh look at his distinctive page layouts and lines. A childhood fan of Miller's Daredevil, Young takes readers on a personal journey as he seeks to reconcile his love for the comic with his distaste for the fascistic overtones of Miller's controversial later work. What he finds will resonate not only with Daredevil fans, but with anyone who has contemplated what it means to be a hero in a heartless world"--Publisher's website. 600 10 $a Miller, Frank, $d 1957- $x Criticism and interpretation. 600 00 $a Daredevil $c (Fictitious character from Marvel Comics Group) $x History. 650 0 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $z United States $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008100152 650 0 $a Popular culture $z United States. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140482 650 0 $a American literature $x History and criticism. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85004351 650 0 $a Myth in literature. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85089366 600 17 $a Miller, Frank, $d 1957- $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00191261 650 7 $a American literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807113 650 7 $a Comic books, strips, etc. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00869145 650 7 $a Daredevil (Fictitious character) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00887820 650 7 $a Myth in literature. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01031692 650 7 $a Popular culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01071344 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 655 7 $a Criticism, interpretation, etc. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411635 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 830 0 $a Comics culture. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2015002557 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20171220013918.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=DBC4F9B6E55311E7AFB0C42A97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
